🎄✨ Trash to Tree — Exotic Bird Hospital Edition ✨🎄

This holiday season, our team got creative and turned “trash” into something special! These Christmas trees were made by our staff using mostly reused and repurposed materials, including shipping boxes, packing paper, and other items that would normally be discarded.

At our clinic, sustainability matters. We make a conscious effort year-round to minimize waste by reusing shipping materials whenever possible, consolidating and reducing orders, and finding creative ways to give materials a second life. Small changes add up, and we believe caring for animals also means caring for the environment they (and we!) share 🌎💚

We’re so proud of our team for embracing creativity, teamwork, and eco-friendly practices, and for spreading a little holiday cheer along the way.

Which tree is your favorite? 🎄👇

A quiet cockatoo is often a plotting cockatoo, and Sydney was plotting how to get to those shiny candy wrappers. This is why birds need to be supervised. They love to get into things they shouldn’t.😂

The way Sydney looks at our tech Sky after she says she won’t grab her is funny. Sydney looks a bit skeptical.

We are closed tomorrow but open for our normal hours today. Merry Christmas!🎄❤️

Happy Tuesday and we are just two days away from Christmas Day! Continuing our countdown with our cute and festive reptile friends.❤️

Reptiles are a great reminder that the correct environment is essential for exotic pet health. Make sure all your pets stay warm and comfortable when the weather outside is chilly, and if you are ever confused about your pet’s temperature needs, ask your pet’s veterinarian.😊

All of our little models are in the lizard family. Interesting fact: even though they all look like mini dinosaurs, they aren’t. Although they share common reptilian ancestry and lived alongside dinosaurs, they belong to separate evolutionary branches.

Did you know birds are the only direct modern dinosaur descendants? While our little bearded dragon and gecko friends might look "dinosaur-like" and are sometimes called "tiny dinosaurs" due to their appearance, they belong to the Lepidosaur group, not the Archosaurs that led to dinosaurs and birds.

Are your pets staying comfortable and cozy?

Countdown continues…Christmas is this week, and what better way to start the week than sharing some furry friends?😍

Nutmeg and Peanut are our adorable little ferret patients, and our tech Marley brought her pup Oreo Pablo in for pics.

Were ferrets bribed with treats for these pics? Absolutely 😂

Oreo Pablo the pup did sit in for our reception but did not want to speak on the phone, so a permanent position might not work out.😅

Are you ready for the holiday? As info, we will be closed on Christmas Day with a doctor and small staff here to care for patients and boarders.

Are you and your pets feeling like taking some holiday pictures? We set up a festive photo booth here at the hospital.😊

Our techs Gala and Faith were the first to take advantage of the holiday background, and their birds Kiwi, Sandy, and Topaz approved.

*If you have a pet that would not be able to safely take a picture with the backdrop but would like a photo, let one of our staff know as we don’t want to risk taking pictures of a bird or other pet with a risk of escaping near the door opening and closing. We would never want to risk a pet getting loose outdoors.

This photo backdrop will be up in our lobby until the 31st. Are your pets feeling festive? Do you like taking holiday pics with your pets?

A cute white’s tree frog named Turgle recently came to see Dr. Borger as an emergency when her owners were concerned that Turgle had a pr*****ed cloaca.

A big concern with prolapses in these frogs is either an overload of parasites or ingesting foreign material.

Dr. Borger was happy to see that Turgle was NOT pr*****ed. The adorable frog just had spagnum moss sticking out of her butt because she accidentally ate it.

Dr. Borger was able to gently remove the moss and everything was good! Turgle’s owners had already removed the spagnum moss from the enclosure a few days earlier, so Dr. Borger let them know they could use sheet moss that’s not as easily ingested.

Turgle felt much better after the large portion of moss was removed.😊Isn’t Turgle adorable?🐢🤗❤️

We have just this week left until Christmas, so we thought we would share some cute green cheeks!

Green cheeked conures are smart, playful, and affectionate. Many of them love to be held. These adorable little birds are social and need plenty of daily interaction.

Our tech Shayna is currently fostering Tini, the green cheeked conure she is holding in the pictures, for Phoenix Landing Foundation, so submit an application to them at https://www.phoenixlanding.org if you are interested in seeing if Tini could be a good fit for you!

Fun game - One of these birds is not like the others (even though our social media person missed it until Imari pointed it out, lol). Do you know which one and what type of bird the accidental imposter is?😂🦜

🎄Is Christmas sneaking up on you or perhaps even hiding, despite quickly approaching? Next in our Christmas countdown is Wasabi, our leopard gecko patient who is a master of hide and sneak.

Wasabi stealthily explored our holiday backdrop and enjoyed climbing, which is good enrichment for her.

Geckos are naturally stealthy reptiles that sneak around to hunt for food while also staying hidden from predators. They are naturally camouflaged, quick, and acrobatic climbing masters.

Since hiding is a survival behavior for geckos, involving body temperature regulation, finding moisture, and evading predators, it is important to provide multiple hiding spots for pet geckos.

While hiding is normal, if your gecko never comes out of hiding or seems lethargic or doesn't eat well, he or she needs to see his or her veterinarian right away🦎

Try not to hide from the holidays the way our gecko friends like to! Does your pet like to hide?
